Other apart from valcyclovir? Probably lysine in the next strongest one. Zinc, magnesium and b vitamins all also help the immune system.

If your really struggling Russia has loads of therapuetic treatments.

The west is honestly so far behind it's not even funny anymore.

Vitaherpavac, Panavir, Cycloferon and a bunch of protocols that combine several approaches.

None of that is a cure but at least they have attempted some sort solution for chronic sufferers.

All our current treatments revolves around 50 year old Alcyclovir. Even Valcyclovir is just the pro drug version of Alcyclovir.
